Its a boy!!

So, due to some complications we had our anatomy scan a little earlier then 20 weeks, and we were able to find out that our sweet bean is a little boy! We are stoked. We would have been happy either way, but its nice that Noah will have a brother and that we are rounding things out as our last. God worked it out so well..

He is perfectly healthy from what we saw and measuring just perfect, plus the complications we weren't sure about turned out to be nothing really at all..so it was a happy appointment. The kids were sooo happy when we told them, they REALLY wanted another boy.

Little man still doesn't have a name yet, but we are working on it. He is an active little booger and moves a lot. Hoping he'll be calmer when he comes out..haha..

My husband.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love my husband?

I know there are TONS of hardworking wonderful men out there, but seriously, I feel so amazingly blessed to have this one. He works very long days, then has to come home to usually a very tired pregnant mama and most likely a rowdy bunch(there are exceptions to this sometimes..haha..I'm not always tired, and the kids aren't always running up the walls..) to which he immediately jumps in and helps out, often times taking them all on an errand or outside for a bit, just so I can have a minute to myself. I try and go out of my way to make things easier here while he's home, but I'm not super woman and some responsibilities I'd rather him not have to take on do indeed get passed on to him.

He is very patient with me(most of the time) and is very good at encouraging me spiritually and just verbally in terms of how I'm doing. He also puts up with my temper and isn't quick to jump in and argue...allowing me time to cool down. :)

I'm very blessed and I only wish that my 2 girls(and similarly the boys with woman) will find someone who is similar to their father's personality.

Where has the time gone?

Its December already! Geez!!

We were able to get the house that I blogged about in Oct..we were so stoked, because it looked like it wasn't going to work out, but God totally worked it out. We had a brother in the Lord bless us IMMENSELY and this season of moving, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and everything else has been so much easier then it was last year when we moved the week of Christmas. The house will be open to us as of tomorrow, so we can start moving things over..The owners went all out and painted, and fixed so many things after the prior renters moved out and we are thrilled that we are moving into a nearly pristine house. Though, I just hope I can keep it up with 3+ kids..haha..This weekend's project? Purging most of of garage..some of the stuff will be easy to get rid of , but we have some "I'll use this one day" and sentimental stuff in there too that will be harder to let go of, but the new house doesn't have a closed in garage, so if it doesn't fit in the house, we can't keep it!

We were able to get a new TV on Black Friday(online, cause I'm not crazy enough to shop at 3 in the morning!) and it was much needed cause our last flat screen broke and our entertainment center can't hold the weight of our old school tube tv that was in our room..but we've been using the smaller tv so long it feels weird to see a bigger one now..haha..

I'm 17 weeks and 1 day preggers. After much debate, Luke and I decided to go ahead and find out the gender this time around, so hopefully in about 2 weeks we will be able to know what we are having. We would obviously love a boy to round things out, but we certainly wouldn't mind another girl either...!!

Luke and I went down to T'ville to be part of a wedding of a long time friend last weekend(not this past one) and enjoyed some time to ourselves as my Mom and then Luke's sister's watched the kiddos..then we enjoyed a very short work week(only 2 days for Luke) and really got to enjoy seeing LOTS of family..(All of Luke's family, and all of mine except one nephew!) and eat lots of food. Pretty sure I put on a couple lbs. from all the eating I did..haha..
